BrahmastraDagdhaGarbhasthaParikshijjivanaikakrit (ब्रह्मास्त्रदग्धगर्भस्थपरीक्षिज्जीवनैककृत्, IAST: Brahmāstradagdhagarbhasthaparīkṣijjīvanaikakṛt) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Sole reviver of Parikshit, scorched in the womb by Brahmastra”. This remarkable epithet unites brahmāstra (the ultimate divine weapon) + dagdha (burnt) + garbhastha (dwelling in the womb) + Parīkṣit (the Kuru heir) + jīvana (life) + ekakṛt (the sole maker), honoring Vishnu as the only power who could restore life to the unborn child devastated by Ashvatthama's weapon.
Meaning, etymology & significance
When Ashvatthama released the brahmāstra into Uttarā's womb to extinguish the last Kuru heir, it was Vishnu alone who entered the womb as a tiny form of brilliant light and preserved the life of Parīkṣit. The name encapsulates the entire episode of miraculous protection, affirming that no force in creation, not even the most devastating divine weapon, can overcome the Lord's compassionate will. Parīkṣit's very survival and later role as the recipient of the Bhāgavata Purāṇa flow from this singular divine act.
This is exclusively an epithet of Vishnu in his role as protector of devotees' lineages and guardian of dharma's continuation. Its extraordinary length makes it unsuitable as a given name, though Parikshit itself is a beloved traditional name inspired by this story.
